FUNNY STORIES.

An old farmer employed a son of Erin to work for him on his farm. Pat was constantly misplacing the end boards in the cart-the front board behind and the tail board in front, which made the old gentleman very irritable. To prevent biunder, he resolved to distinguish each board by some sign or notice thereon. Accordingly he painted on both boards a large "B ;" then calling Pat to him and showing him the boards, he said ''Now, you blockhead, you need make no mistake, as they are both marked. ''Fhis, point ing to one board, "is sB' for before; and that, !" indicating the tailboard, ''is B for behind" whereupon the old gentleman marched of with great dignity.
 A German paper relates that during the absence of hls son, Louis, who had gone on distant journey, Prince Ferdinand, of Prussia, who then resided at the palace of Belle Vue, near Berlin, caused some alter ations to be made in the park by the in- troducion of artificial hills, lakes, and grottoes, in order to gratify the young princess love of the romantic, when he re- turned from his foreign tour. Soon after his arrival Prince Louis was shown around the park by his proud father, who did not fail to point ont to him all the beauties of the scenery. An hour later a placard placed by some wag, was discovered on the outer gate with the following inscrip. tion: "Visitors are requested to be care fnl not to crush the hills fiat by stepping on them. No dogs allowed, as they might drink up the lakes No one is permitted to pocket any of the rocks that are lying around. By order"
 A swimming school in Frankfort on the Main announces in English Swimming instructions given by a teacher of both sexes." An allusion to swimming reminds us that at Dieppe, that famous bathing place, there are police established, whose duty it is to rescue persons from danger. This notice is said to have been recently issued to them: "The bathing police are requested, when a lady is in danger of drowning, to seize her by the dress, and not by her hair, which oftentimes rcmail in their grasp"
 Obituary notices have not always the solemnity about their composition which is thought desirable. A country sculptor was ordered to engrave on tombstone the following words GA virtuous woman is 5s. to her husband"
 A country paper, in notice of lecture given by phrenologist, said "Behind the platform is large gallery of life size portraits twelve feet high" This odd no tice reminds us of the hand bill put forth at Exeter, which was headed "Wanted a few healthy members to complete Sick Society,""
 Scarcely so ingenious, but equally ab- Gsurb, is the Hibernian notice said to be seen over the entrance gate to French burying ground: "Only the dead who live in this parish are buried here" "- ChGnlberS' Journal.

 California never knew such a year for tourists brfore. There are both pleasure and business in this. The course of travel is changed this year in many respects. The south is attracting thousands of sight seers who are not bound for Florida either. Indeed, there has been a falling off in ar- rivals in the latter state, while the hotels have multiplied. In the winter of 1856 there were 167 ,391 arrivals at 93 hotels, and during the season just closing only 15S, Al registered at 148 hotels. It is pretty evi- dent that in California, unlike Florida, the motive of tourists is largely possible in- vestments. Says the San Francisco Argo- naut: We inform strangers that nearly the whole state is for sale ; that we are as anx- ious to sell as they are to purchase that if they will keep cool and go slow they can find bargains but if they lose their heads, as they did in Los Angeles and the south, they will have occasion to complain.
